Q: Jim, I am looking for a backup generator to run off my Ford 6610 tractor PTO. The tractor is 78.5 HP and 2100 rpm. I want to back up my 3,200 ft house. I already have a very old 56K Stuart and Stevenson military Genset that is wired to the house with a switch. I want a backup to my old backup. I also want to be able to move it around my ranch for other uses. What do you recommend?by John Goodman from Texas on December 31, 2012

A: PTO generator sizing is based on the HP at the PTO which is typically lower then the engine HP and can be calculated as 1000 watts for every 2 PTO HP.

Example: A tractor with 70 PTO HP can use a 35kW generator.

You will need to confirm with a certified electrician if a 35kW generator will be enough to power your 3,200 sq/ft house as it will be based on the starting amperage loads of the equipment you intend on powering.

In the case of PTO generators, we think, bigger is better. As we mentioned in our "better" recommendation, Winco has been a manufacturer of quality PTO generators since the 1950's with the original goal and purpose of keeping American farms operational at a time when frequent power outages were the norm. Their PTO generators are reliable, safe and sought after to this day.

This 35kW generator offers you a TON of power, but also requires that you have a pretty large tractor since... more

This 35kW generator offers you a TON of power, but also requires that you have a pretty large tractor since it requires a 70-HP engine.

If you want bigger, this is the best!

Winco 35ptoc-3 -35kw Is Great

I live on a farm and have a JD5083E tractor with an economy PTO. This tractor is 83HP engine and 69HP PTO. I wanted to go PTO so that I wouldn't have yet another engine to maintain. The home is 100% electric and heated with Heat Pump and aux resistance heating in the air bonnet.

Pros:Durable, Price, High Quality, Plenty Of Power
